This book was an instant hit with my soon to be 3-year old son. He fell in love with the beautiful pictures. The text about the instruments and composers was easy for him to follow. He kept asking me to read the book over and over again and he named the instruments. Surprisingly, he was very interested in the composers. Needless to say, the CD that’s included with the book is an instant hit with him. After a couple of days my son asked for a pencil and paper to “write down music” and announced that he was writing “loud organ music, like Bach”. We do something related to this book almost every day – listen to the CD, read a page or two, dance, and talk about and pretend-play different instruments. So far so good!

I started using this book as a guide to teaching 2-4 year old children to listen and enjoy music. It is a good basis for lessons and with some creativity has led to excellent lessons. I’m very excited . My hope is that ultimately they will appreciate and enjoy classical music as I do.
